Despite the fact that Malaysia is a Muslim country, Malaysia refused to embrace Arabic as one of its official languages. Therefore, no Malaysian authority has the right to determine/restrict the usage of any word that is purely Arabic in origin. That right belongs to the Arab League and its 22 member countries. I would suggest that a request be made to Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka to state that ALLAH is Arabic in origin. Give them two weeks to respond failing which we can get the Arab League to issue a statement that ALLAH is an Arabic word. That statement from the Arab League will end all these stupidity gushing from idiots at UMNO. All Malays please remember this - embracing Islam and being a Muslim does not make you a native speaker of the Arabic Language. Likewise, not all native speakers of the Arabic language are Muslims - there are Christians, Druzes and Jews amongst us. The word ALLAH had been in existence before Islam. So, do not forget that ALLAH in English is simply God. If you insist that ALLAH is a Muslim God, you should also explain that TUHAN is a pagan deity for the Malays. Dear Malays, please stop making fools of yourselves! by Another Arab Dear Members of this Forum

I suddenly feel so sad after reading it. Please continue being strong for Malaysia. Now i'm worried. What about my blog? How did they find you? Will they find me? Ugh.. it is sad when citizens of my country live in fear and do not even realize it. I'm not a fan of Anwar to tell you the truth. I supported the 'reformasi' together with my whole family. But i feel that he has let us down somehow. Regardless, I am a citizen with no affiliation. I like to call people like us, "government critics". And a government needs to be criticised when it is not doing a good job. Basic human rights are not adhered to. I doubt the police know anything about human rights. No inkling whatsoever. Sad sad sad. Keep up the good work, my friend. Yati Dear Nathaniel,
